What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we handle worktop repair in Melbury Abbas
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are a damaged sink edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Melbury Abbas, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills immediately
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
